Wrestling, in my eyes has to be the more challenging, physically because you need to use all of the muscles in the body and you are not just using your hands like in boxing. You use all of your extremeties when wrestling. There are hundreds of wrestling move to be learned and not all of them work on every opponent. Don't get me wrong I think boxing is a tough sport but wrestling is tougher.

The only way to answer this question is to conduct a poll. I believe the results of that poll would show boxing to be considered a more challenging sport. Techniques, strategy, endurance and strength are important in the sport of wrestling. Boxing requires these attributes and has the added requirement of toughness, the ability to take a pounding, and still compete with any or all the following: dizzyness, blurred vision, eyes swollen shut, blood in the eyes, broken nose & half your ear biten off (just kidding but you see my point). This can happen in wrestling I suppose, but it's common in boxing, it's a normal occurance. Submissions are common in wrestling (pain for a few seconds), how often do you see the towel getting thrown in in boxing? The length of the match is much longer in boxing if you can go the distance, quite commonly someone gets knocked unconcious, seriously cut or beaten to a pulp before then (though they probably still managed to last longer than your average wrestling match). Wrestling - tough sport, tougher than Boxing ...I don't think so!
Does practice make perfect but only when we start at good?

useful, since this is a question of opinion, but I don't agree!
